Criminal Defence

At Burger Smith Urdahl, we provide criminal defence services for all types of criminal charges and quasi-criminal offences including assaults, sexual assaults, impaired driving, mischief, theft, drug offences,  motor vehicle offences and fisheries offences.   We also act for young offenders.

Matt is our criminal defence lawyer at Burger Smith Urdahl.  He has  been practicing criminal defence since his call to the bar in 2007.  He is also an experienced family lawyer and as such is knowledgeable about the interplay between criminal and family law proceedings.

We strive to provide the highest level of service to our clients, from negotiating a favorable pre-trial resolution with the police or Crown Counsel to vigorously defending our clients at trial.   We take a common sense approach and work with our clients to find a solution that makes sense for them.   

If you are arrested or charged with an offence then you should contact us immediately to ensure that your interests are fully protected.  It is essential that you know and understand your legal rights as soon as possible.
